This past week I was at the National Marine Electronics convention and show in Orlando, Fla. In addition to attending the show, I was the head judge of the NMEA Technology Award. Sounds simple enough, right? But not when you're faced with picking one product out of 23 great products. My fellow judges — Glenn Law, executive editor of Saltwater Sportsman, and Bill Bishop of Patman Boatworks and his excellent (and funny) blog, The Marine Installer's Rant — had a tough time winnowing down the group. Solomon himself never faced a harder choice (well, except maybe for the two women and the baby thing).
